Historical Novels Review
"Mr Donachie has clearly done his research, and his action scenes read well, as do his depictions of a storm at sea and fire on board a wooden ship."
An Ill Wind
It is 1793. John Pearce and his Pelicans are going home - to gain their freedom and put the treacherous Captain Ralph Barclay in the dock. Emily Barclay discovers Pearce has papers that would ruin her husband's career and her future security. And then comes that dread thing, a fire aboard a wooden ship of war! Cast adrift, Pearce and his Pelicans find help from an unlikely source. Finally back on British soil, they hope they have reached the end of their troubles, but with the documents missing the real concerns have only just begun. Emily Barclay holds the key, but where do her loyalties lie?
